Beware of Bogus Tickets.

The Spectator warns its Democratic
friends to beware of Bogus tickets and
says That some tickets have Leen issued
by Republicans, which are headed Demo
cratic ticket"
We do not believe that any Republican
had any such ticket printed. Certainly
they were not printed at the only Republi-
can Office in Stanton.
The only bogus ticket We have seen is
an exact fac smile of the ''Citizens indie
pendent ticket, the only difference being
the substitution of Z. r. N. Speei, s
name as Sheriff, for that Of VIM. McCue,
and Of W. A. Wilson. Commissioner of
Revenue, foT that Of g. w. Slower, with
the names CT Supervisor apQ Constable
left blank.
This is q fraudulent ticket gotten npto
deceive. 1heiype, paper, &C.. are exactly
like that OF the "Citizens' Ticket. " the
heading is the same, and there could have
been lao other object in its issuance than
to deceive voters who desired to support the
Independent ticket.
Let every voter examine his ballot care
fully, and put his foot down on the fraud
and deception thai ksye been attempted
upon him.

RICHMOND. MAY %. ISIS
The Wickham Anne ndment

| The Republicans of Virginia have per
sistently held that the Riddleberger bill a;
| originally passed and approved by the Gov
ernor, would have accomplished the settle
ment of the debt. The amendment added
by the Democratic Legislature in 1888
instead of strengthening the measure, had
the effect of so materially weakening ii
that asIsOQn as it came before the Supreme
Court it was declared practically q nullity
On the other hand the Democrats proclaim
ed that the Wickham amendment in nc
way impaired the strength of the Riddle
berger settlement, but that On the contra
ry the effect was directly opposite. This
latter claim has been completely dissipa-
ted by the author Of the amendment him
self Inthe proceedings OF the I4egsla-
tpTe az friday last, we find the following
as reported in the Dispatch (;
Mr.. W rkham introduced q bill to amend
and re-elaQt IN act approved November
"a, 1854, entitled an act to amend and re.
enact an act approved August 7, 1891, to
declare the true intent and meaning OF.
and to amend and re enact section of
chapter e4 of the Acts of 1881 80, approved
February14, 1882.
Mr.. W ckhaal explained that the object
OF the bill was to reatlirm the Riddleberger
bill, and to leave it as it was the day on
which it received the Governors sigma
tuIe. He, in all honesty of purpose. had
two years after the passage Of the Riddle
berger bill, secured an amendment to it
which proposed to repudiate the coupons !;
but being satisfied that the bill had not ac-
complished the object intended by him, he
wished to have it repealed,
Mr.. Wickham asked that the rules be
suspended and the bill Immediately passed.
MIR. Williams opposed tie consideration
of the bill. He thought the amendment
had served good purpose in destroying
the value of the coupons, and he thought
it of value to the State, and its further
continuance could result in no harm.
MIR. Koiner opposed the consideration of
the bill There were more important ones,
which if not acted upon at once would
never become laws.
Mr.. Wickham thought this bill fraught
